Why don't we have shovelware games anymore? Up through the PS2/DS-era there would be games for every popular anime or TV show.
>>
>>731154135
Because mobile exists
>>
>>731154135
Because games now cost billions and a humiliation ritual to produce
>>
>>731154135
Children don't play anything but Fortnite and Roblox.
>>
>>731154206
There's a lot of shitty mobile games but not a lot of secondary shovelware games of yore. I just want to be able to pick up a $5 Taylor Swift or Frieren game off a bin.
>>
Games are too expensive and slow to make now, you can't pump out a movie tie-in in rapid time for the movie release anymore, unless it's a small scale mobile game.

what was the last game that came out like this?
>>
>>731154135
Making a cheap mobile game or doing a Fortnite collab is less risk for more gains.
>>
>>731154135
Who played this games?
>>
>>731154135
there's plenty of shovelware on digital marketplaces
there's no need for physical copies anymore
>>
>>731154135
Game collabs are the new shovelware.

Yes?

Some of them were actually pretty fun.

I think like 2011-13 were like the final years of those classic movie tie in titles. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is old enough to have some games like this.

I thought I was going crazy there for a second but no, in fact, the US GBA and PC release apparently got completely different box art than the European version, which simply used the same art from the console editions.

And for good measure, this was apparently the US PC box art.
I'm not sure what "style" or "aesthetic" this is supposed to be but it's really good and more women should strive to look like this.

The girls that both played the baby Michelle on Full House about 10 years prior to that GBC game.

Because indie games are the new shovelware

why the fuck does this pic look like unteralterbach with an ai filter lmfao

What part of that is wrong? If you want a wide multi-console release of a typical movie-tie in, which was an action adventure game, shooter, or platformer, you are not going to get it pumped out in 10 months with a team of 25 people, just in time for your May or November movie release.

So unless you want a small little mobile game, or an "indie" style release, you're shit out of luck.

Her family and the 00s paparazzi really ruined her. Turns out Chris Crocker was right.
>>
>>
>>731154135
Are Mary Kate and Ashley even relevant anymore? I feel like they were all but replaced by their younger sister Elizabeth thanks to the MCU.
>>
>>731158975
They are active in fashion.
>>
As other have stated, Fortnite.
There are some new shovelware games, they're just buried in the Apple app store.
>>
my older sister had a mary kate and ashley game on the ps1
from what I remember of it you used to get paired with a random guy and you had to pick the perfect date for him. Like if you got the jock you had to take him mini putt golfing and if you got the nerd you had to take him to a museum or something

They're more business women now, with a fashion company, still very rich. But they don't act anymore, so Elizabeth is the more prominent one.

Literally about 70% of Nintendo's library is shovelware.
>>
>>731154369
I'd say Mad Max, though that wasn't explicitly a movie tie-in

Why are their noses suddenly so wide here? Their noses look different in these >>731154135 >>731156651 >>731158710 photos. Is it the viewing angle of the camera lens? Hit the wall that early? Something else?
>>
>>731159440
Because they're kids in puberty.
>>
>>731159476
I am pretty sure I didn't have a monkey nose in puberty
>>
>>731159440
kids have fuckass huge noses and ears by age 10, and the rest of the face grows into it in the teens.
>>
>>731159579
I assure you, you did.
>>
>>731154135
We call them AAA games now
>>
>>731154135
Nobody watches TV series or movies anymore.
>>
>>731159440
some kids have features come in big, and then the face "grows" around it and catches up, others have everything grow together
>>
>>731154807
There has never been a show more cringe than this

Brother have you fired and up the Steam/Playstation/Nintendo/Xbox/Android stores this past decade?
>>
>>731154369
Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead games by Telltale is the closest thing that I can think of
>>
>>731154229
AI tools will change that. The competition for AAA will become incredibly fierce as way more small studios become capable of it and we will get shovelware slop again

Your nose and jaw are the most commonly out of proportion parts during puberty as your face grows and shifts around into adulthood.
>>
>>731154563
Here's the thing though. They are physical. Go into a Gamestop fight past the clothes racks and kids running into your dick and find the video game cuck corner.

How many of those games have you heard of or are worth a damn?

A lot has been made (and ive made it myself) about how little the PS2 library is when shovelware is removed but I honestly think PS5 might eclipse it.
>>
celebrity culture is retarded and normie
all those peolpe are liberal faggots with the same opinions

>>731160078
bro like, it was a thing, like, it was
>>
>>731154323
I bet it isn't
>>
when I was in preschool I actually liked the movies they made like where they were detectives and there was a midget and they rode horses or something.
is that gay
>>
>>731161567
I liked most of their movies when I was around 12 since I'd jerk off to them
>>
>>731161567
also I can never even watch them again because it would be weird as fuck to watch that now

Why pay $5 mill for a shitty game that only sells 700k when you can make a shitty F2P mobile game for $1 mill and get like 10 million downloads lifetime

They still exist, but they're stuff like pic related or based off some other kid IP like Paw Patrol or something.
They're nowhere near as ubiquitous just because the general gaming landscape has changed and basically every kid is on Roblox or Fortnite instead of traditional games unless their parents curate a library for them.
>>
>>731161567
yes anon, it was really fucking gay for you to like a children's movie as a child, like actually how dare you
>>
They focus on digital. PC gets some every single day
>>
>>731160516
So....is it fun?

>>731162676
Yes
>>
>>731161805
how's this poor kid holding up now?
His parents seem like pretty awful people from what I saw years ago.

Because the 2008 economic recession killed pop culture and everything good
